Brothers and Sisters,

On behalf of our executive and the collective bargaining committee, I am pleased to share the results of the Alberta Regional Council of Carpenters Collective Agreement ratification vote.

• YES votes: 592
• NO votes: 296
• Total votes received: 888

The returned ballots were all received by the 5 p.m. cutoff time on October 29, 2020. The results were verified by Al Scherbarth Professional Corporation.

This is an important document and moment for our council and the members we serve. It’s also the product of a lot of hard work. I would like to thank the bargaining committee for their valued input and commitment that went into the drafting and ratification process. Thanks must also go out to our members for their contributions that helped inform this process and for their patience over the course of the last 18 months. Thank you to everyone that voted

We look forward to sharing information about the implementation process for the new Collective Agreement. Please do not hesitate to reach out to your council Business Agent or myself if you have any questions about this process or the agreement.

Thank you.

Derrick Schulte
Executive Secretary Treasurer
Alberta Regional Council of Carpenters and Allied Workers
